Brigid for Hamilton County AuditorThe Auditor is supposed to be our local consumer watchdog, and that’s what I will be…I have worked to provide greater transparency and accessibility to state government, stood up against corruption, and advocated for expanding the homestead exemption. It’s the same approach I’ll bring to the Auditor’s office.
